Breitbart: Cruz: We Don't Need Obama's Ebola Czar, We need a President Who Will Lead
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said on Friday that America doesn’t need an Ebola czar, but in fact needs leadership from President Barack Obama—and needs a president who will ban travel to and from Ebola-stricken nations.
“We don't need another so-called 'czar'; we need presidential leadership,” Cruz said in response to the president appointing Ron Klain—Vice President Joe Biden’s ex-chief of staff, who was at the center of the 2009 stimulus bill and the Solyndra scandal—as Ebola czar. “This is a public health crisis, and the answer isn't another White House political operative.”
Cruz said that instead of a czar, Obama should be leading by banning flights from Africa and securing the border with Mexico.
“The answer is a commander in chief who stands up and leads, banning flights from Ebola-afflicted nations and acting decisively to secure our southern border,” Cruz said. “The Ebola outbreak shouldn't be treated as yet another partisan battle by the White House; rather, we should come together in bipartisan unity to take these common-sense steps to protect the American people.”
